Learning to Infer Inner-Body Under Clothing From Monocular Video.

Accurately estimating the human inner-body under clothing is very important for body measurement, virtual try-on and VR/AR applications. In this article, we propose the first method to allow everyone to easily reconstruct their own 3D inner-body under daily clothing from a self-captured video with the mean reconstruction error of 0.73cm within 15s. This avoids privacy concerns arising from nudity or minimal clothing. Specifically, we propose a novel two-stage framework with a Semantic-guided Undressing Network (SUNet) and an Intra-Inter Transformer Network (IITNet). SUNet learns semantically related body features to alleviate the complexity and uncertainty of directly estimating 3D inner-bodies under clothing. IITNet reconstructs the 3D inner-body model by making full use of intra-frame and inter-frame information, which addresses the misalignment of inconsistent poses in different frames. Experimental results on both public datasets and our collected dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The code and dataset is available for research purposes at http://cic.tju.edu.cn/faculty/likun/projects/Inner-Body.

Image-Guided Human Reconstruction via Multi-Scale Graph Transformation Networks.

3D human reconstruction from a single image is a challenging problem. Existing methods have difficulties to infer 3D clothed human models with consistent topologies for various poses. In this paper, we propose an efficient and effective method using a hierarchical graph transformation network. To deal with large deformations and avoid distorted geometries, rather than using Euclidean coordinates directly, 3D human shapes are represented by a vertex-based deformation representation that effectively encodes the deformation and copes well with large deformations. To infer a 3D human mesh consistent with the input real image, we also use a perspective projection layer to incorporate perceptual image features into the deformation representation. Our model is easy to train and fast to converge with short test time. Besides, we present the D2Human (Dynamic Detailed Human) dataset, including variously posed 3D human meshes with consistent topologies and rich geometry details, together with the captured color images and SMPL models, which is useful for training and evaluation of deep frameworks, particularly for graph neural networks. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves more plausible and complete 3D human reconstruction from a single image, compared with several state-of-the-art methods.
